I suspect that there are multiple reasons why I didn't include it --
the first being that the idea of including it didn't cross my mind.
The web site was the state of Idaho's health insurance site, Your
Health Idaho. My assumption was that everyone on this list knows
his or her insurance status, and thus needs no presumptuous
prompting from me, especially to a problematic public provider such
as the reluctantly released, and, as it turns out, buggy state of
Idaho web site. I'll readily admit that large software systems are
difficult to accomplish successfully, but given all the publicity
about systems precisely for that purpose in the last few months, the
extra year of preparation time, and the substantial money available
to get the job done with sufficient testing and quality assurance
efforts, it is sad and disappointing that easily discoverable bugs
present themselves on a first use of the site. But it is what it
is. C'est la vie.<br>
